Arnolds Park, IA (KICD) — Nobody snagged the 42 thousand dollar fish this year, but Iowa Great Lakes Chamber Program Director Kiley Zankowski says the season opener was a roaring success.

Those elusive, tagged walleyes are still worth cash this summer.

Zankowski tells KICD News they’re still adding up the amount of proceeds that will be available for Walleye Weekend grants.
Next year’s grand prize will be 43 thousand dollars.
